LOGINSorry this took longer to come out. Been under the weather. But its extra long. Yay!
AZALEA'S POVMy whole body still ached all over, but nothing would stop me from seeing my siblings. Even though I knew they were safe, we were all safe. I still needed to see them with my own two eyes to be sure that I didn't fail Mom, Dad, and Eloise."Are you sure you feel up to it?" Henry asks me for the uptenth time since I started getting ready. He had bought me new clothes and new hygiene stuff but still asking.I was sick of "receiving visitors" while bedridden. I had been locked in a hospital-looking room and being stuck here was beginning to bring back memories."I feel absolutely fine Alpha." I answer without turning to him but I can hear him hold in a breath.My response however is still not enough to convince him that I'm fine so he turns to the doctor I've now learnt is a childhood friend of his. "Malachi is she cleared to go?""Well she does show small signs of dehydration and malnutrition still, she may still be experiencing sore muscles in certain places but nothing a l
Henry POVThe whole pack quickly turned to the battle of who gets to meet Azalea first. The news of the luna of the oracle arriving in Red Ivy spread like wildfire, and they all wanted to see for themselves. The excited chatter made my stomach turn every time I heard the whispers as I passed by the pack houses.The children spoke of her as if she were a thousand years old, or the moon goddess reincarnated, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at the far irony. But it goes without saying: family gets the privilege first, and Mama Brooke had called dibs since we implanted Azalea weeks ago. It was as if she just knew. Gotta love Mama Brooke.But I didn't want to share her with the whole pack yet; I wanted her to myself for more than a few minutes before she got absorbed in Luna frolicking and duties. My mum was always busy with some initiative for the women and children in the pack for all the years I knew her, and I would find my dad cooking up a disaster for dinner when she wasn't around. I
Henry's POV'Alpha!' I hear through the link after what feels like eternity sorting through generations of wolves.'Talk to me, Mal.''She's awake.' I hear him say, Didn't need any more words from him before dashing through the wind to the pack hospital."That was fast." He chuckles as I arrive. "You beat your past record by 0.2 seconds.""How is she?" I ask him again, ignoring his attempts at a joke."She is very stable now; her vitals have improved drastically since this afternoon. It's almost a mystery because she did not need any of the blood we planned on using; her body replenished itself."Atta girl! That’s my fighter. Without waiting for his approval, I pushed the double doors open slowly as if trying not to startle her. But she jumped either way as soon as it opened. I could hear her tiny gasp from under her breath as our eyes met. I felt her energy wrap around me instantly; she was much more powerful than she was before she was taken to Black Lotus, but I could feel her weakn
Henry's POV*Disclaimer: contains violence, drugs and gunsGunfire erupted behind us as Black Lotus soldiers flooded the chamber."Extraction compromised!" Gray shouted through comms. "You’ve got company everywhere!"We fought claws to bullets to teeth. I tried so hard to push my powers back, but I've been on the edge for so long it threatened to take over. Usually I don't resort to it until the very last because we could get too many casualties, my own fighters in the mix. But through the chaos, I caught it, although faint; her scent came through the world of blood and raw flesh. Her scent was strong, so much richer than I've ever gotten a whiff of her. "I've got her," I breathed. "She's close" "Where?" Ryder demanded. I ignore his question; I know she is close but I don't know how close that is or where it is in this god forsaken camp. I let my nose guide me as we cut through the chaos unto a crossroad near the subway. "Emma," I growled through the link. "Where is she?"Her voice
AZALEA'S POV "uhhh." I stuttered, looking back at Lexa and Justin on the bench."You're not one of Black Lotus, are you?" an older kid, probably about Justin's age or 15, came to the window."Did they do this?" I asked.Were these the children the doctor mentioned earlier? I look back into the room, and there are at least 40 of them in there. I pursed my lips, looking back at the bleak faces of my siblings and the hopelessness in the eyes of the children before me.'Goddess, this would create so many problems,'But I couldn't possibly leave them here and selfishly leave. I would never be able to forgive myself.There was no door handle on the door or keyhole for a key, which is expected in Black Lotus."How many of you are in there?" I asked shakingly.They did a rough head count as fast as they could. My heart sank at the cruel reality that could have happened to Justin and Lexa if Red Fire hadn't planned the emergency exit after Blue Ivy was set on fire."Okay, okay" I mumbled to my
Henry's POVWe arrived at the last noticeable location on Azalea's chip, stealthily each soldier dropped from the glider blending into the greens immediately. We all knew the plan, each team knew what to do and in a matter of minutes I would be reunited with my flower, and of course have Ray's head.The sky was still bruised purple, the forest wrapped in thick silence. One by one, my soldiers dropped from the glider, disappearing into the trees like ghosts. We had trained for this.I landed last.The drone went before us, scouting the perimeter for any change we didn't account for. I set up my snipper and good old fashioned binoculars confirming the security was just as we had predicted. I lay flat against the damp earth, binoculars pressed to my eyes. From a distance, it looked harmless, abandoned warehouses, rusted roofs, broken windows.A lie so clean it was almost beautiful."Perimeter matches projection," I whispered.More accurately with the help of Emma, she had another vision b
AZALEA POV "Don't you dare fucking touch him!" I shouted, my face red with fury. Lexa starts shouting through the duct tape too."No more shit like that, alright?" He grabs my face with force as if trying to break my jawline.I can only glare at him as he breaks into another monstrous smile. The do
AZALEA'S POVThe whole camp were whispering around me as I walked. I hated being the center of attraction like this, but its what it had come to. I didn't really care, I cared that I had impressed Alpha Henry who thought I was weak. But the consequence that comes with impressing him. Sigh."Just the w
AZALEA'S POV"Wake her up Azalea, she's your wolf, wake her up!."I try to concentrate, reaching into the deeps of my mind, finding my happy place, solitude in the mist of a ragging war, stupid right?.But I then hear Eloise cry out again, a large wolf on top of her, blood all over her. I see mom fight
AZALEA'S POV“Why don’t you pick on somebody your own size.” I hear a deep voice that causes my stomach to summersault a couple times. Almost immediately, a pleasant smell fills my nose and I shiver.I try to look at him, but the jock he’s holding up is obstructing as if he heard my thoughts, he turne
